Uk Akkerman Sample Ink Buy

[fionafish]

Hello again,

 

I think that a couple of people are concerned that the figures are uncertain. I have a carefully budgeted plan that tells me exact costs of what I need to send everyone there samples. I do not want to be too explicit on costs for several reasons. I need a little money in reserve for problems. Exchange rates can change, the products I need to package can go up in price or I may need to change suppliers.

 

As I am asking people to only message me saying they are in when they are sure they will commit to the price, I do not feel that I can give a price then ask for more. I will only ask for the money I need when I need it. I will not ask for more money than I have quoted and I hope to be able to ask for a little less. I will order everything then ask for money, but until that point I want people to be aware of the highest cost that it could be for each of them.

 

I hope you understand the reasoning of this and are happy that I will not mess people around.

Whoop!

PM sent: this is very exciting!

 

And maybe it's just me but isn't #30 Black the obvious choice to leave out?

[fionafish]

I don't know, there is only one black, but lots of blues, and some of them look quite similar to others. That combined with my lack of love of blue inks on the whole means that I would very happily miss one of the less exciting looking blues.

I have no good reason to put anything more here, but I want to bump the thread. Please forgive me.

While the black might be a bit generic, I too think there are lots of blues. I wouldn't at all mind foregoing one blue for the sake of a full colour spectrum.

[fionafish]

I think when I do the what colour do we miss out I will have an option of any blue to be decided later, unless people feel that is too biased?

Good Evening all,

 

Only 9 slots remaining to be filled.

Whoop! Again.

 

KoninginneNach-blauw and Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indigo look very similar on screen to me. Does anyone else see this?

[kkshadow]

I'm pretty mellow on the subject of which color to drop. I would be fine with losing one of the blues.

[fionafish]

Whoop! Again.

 

KoninginneNach-blauw and Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indigo look very similar on screen to me. Does anyone else see this?

 

I definitely see the similarity there, I also don't see much difference between Akkerman Blauw and Royal Akkermanblauw Uitwasbaar that said, I sometimes see Nassaus Blauw as closer to the Royal.

Well there's always one in every crowd and this time it looks like it's me!

 

One of the main reasons I'm excited about this is the chance to compare all the blues.

[fionafish]

I would be surprised if there really is only one of you, the question is, which ink will you sacrifice?

 

I will not be taking official votes from the thread, but a bit of discussion may help when it comes to the time of voting.

[rafapa]

I'll drop the black one.

An errant thought just wandered across my little mind....

 

 

.... we need samples to know what samples to get!!!

Hi Fiona,

 

I have noticed we are almost there.

 

Thank you very much for all the effort you have put into this.

Hi Fiona,

 

I have noticed we are almost there.

 

Thank you very much for all the effort you have put into this.

 

Thank you for the thanks, but I can see it going a lot more slowly now unless people were just waiting till the last minute.

 

7 slots left people, any one else want 2? Or are there some new people ready and waiting to come aboard?

Does any one know if I am right in thinking that Akkerman no longer have any iron gall inks in their line up? I have been reading around the internet, and at least one ink that was said to be iron gall does not exist in their current line up. If any one knows anything please say.
